If you like your roots music a little rough around the edges and ready to move, this is one to catch 🌄🪕
@claystreetunit brings a wide-open blend of bluegrass, country, and Americana that’s tough to pin down—in the best way. Formed in Denver but shaped by roots stretching through places like Charlottesville and Atlanta, the band pulls from a mix of influences that meet right in the middle.
Their latest release Sin & Squalor captures both sides of what they do: high-energy picking and full-band drive, balanced with more thoughtful, lived-in songwriting. It’s music that can hit hard one minute and slow things down the next, without losing that sense of momentum.
Be sure to catch them at the VA is for Lovers Stage from 3:00-4:30 pm

A powerhouse voice with a road-worn heart 🎤✨
@iammaggierose brings a blend of soul, Americana, and rock energy that hits just as hard in a festival field as it does in a theater. With a voice that can cut through anything and a delivery that feels both bold and deeply personal, she’s built a reputation as one of the most compelling live performers on the circuit.
Her latest work, including the GRAMMY-nominated No One Gets Out Alive and 2025 EP Cocoon, showcases an artist fully in command of her sound—gritty, emotional, and unafraid to push boundaries.
Be sure to catch her Friday at the VA is for Lovers Lake Stage from 6:30-8:00 pm
